    I adore Rob. So humbled. Hasn't aged a day, just as handsome now as 20 years ago. He is just adorable. Yup, here I am... 2022.

    Rob Thomas, in my humble opinion, is one of the mainstream songwriters that keeps Rock moving forward in an honest form. Thanks Rob. And, if you ever need an electrician for a home or office project done, I'm your guy. metro from nc

    One of the greatest songwriters of my generation. So gifted lyrically. MB20 songs were part of the soundtrack of my life. Thanks for everything Rob. Keep it up my brother.

    DAMN is he smart. Not only is he's my favorite artist but this tops it off. No regrets for my only child having the middle name Thomas. What an amazing career.

    By far my #1 favorite artist. I have all his stuff, Matchbox Twenty, Solo & even Tabitha's Secret. I listen to them all beginning to end & there isn't a song I skip. The only artist for which I do this. Never stop Rob!! There are people like me anxiously awaiting the next one! BTW, I heard him sing an INXS song in concert & he killed it. The year he toured with the Goo Goo Dolls I saw him 3 times. It was my favorite tour! His solo stuff is so great. Love me some Rob Thomas music!! 🎶🎸🎼🎵

    I still buy his CDs. I absolutely love everything about Rob Thomas. His music is almost the soundtrack to my life. I even have an unwell tattoo on my ankle. It means so much to me. Thank you Rob for everything you do.

    Little Wonders from Meet the Robinsons is low-key one of his best, most heartfelt songs.

    Rob is forever humble, but he never did get the credit he deserved for "Smooth". He's such a talented singer/songwriter. As much as he feels his work on their first album was sub par compared to today, I am over 60 and been a MB20/Rob Thomas fan since day one...Yourself Or Someone Like You is still my favorite to this day and is my go to Matchbox album. Maybe polished does not always necessarily mean "better", just different.

    I was there in Birmingham when he was talking about being there, it was amazing and I was obsessed with them from then on.. it makes me so happy to think that he was being real when he told us what a great crowd we were that night and how surprised he was that we knew all the words to all of his songs already and what it meant to him! Maybe I'm fangirling a little bit but whatever I'm good LOL... wish I could see him live again!!

    I have loved this guy and his band since I heard Long Day. I've seen them/him in concert more times than I can even remember. His music has morphed a bit over time but he has never left his style. Tabitha's Secret day one man. Keep on making music mister because we may be few and far between these days but we are still here! Especially those of us that grew up in the 80s. You're still here though man. ❤

    even now in 2022, nearly every day I still listen to MB20 and I still think they are amazing songs and are true to what many of us are still feeling. Edit

    Rob Thomas, last of the great musicians and of a time period that will never be matched. He has such great talent from his band to individuality. Back when you needed talent to reach something. What a casual guy for the success he has achieved. A true dying breed, up there with Green Day and Disturbed and Three Days Grace to name a few. As my dad says, "our dads got to live the last of the best music generation". Brings me to tears thinking of the depth of this interview.... Think about it.

    Long before I ever had a smartphone or long term access to the internet, I used to listen to matchbox 20 and wonder what the story/influences were to Robs songs were. I imagined what it wud be like to see interviews like this with a lot of different bands/music artists. Its weird when a anticipation becomes real
